M60

The M60 is the Manchester Outer Ring Road, a loop of more than 30 miles. It is very well used and the section through the Irwell Valley between junctions 15 and 16, known as Death Valley, is sometimes claimed as the busiest section of motorway in the country. It took longer to build than any other road- 46 years. The last section opened in 2000 closing the loop on the east side of Manchester.
